By Clifford Ndujihe & Luminous Jannamike
The Supreme Court’s restoration of key provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 has opened a fresh legal front over the nominations of some Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and other opposition parties’ candidates ahead of the 2027 elections.
With the apex court’s verdict other parties affected include the Social Democratic Party, SDP; Allied Peoples Movement, APM; People’s Redemption Party, PRP; and a candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The judgment does not automatically disqualify the affected candidates.
